CMMA had their Spring 2010 President’s Dinner at Eddie Dean’s in downtown Dallas, which was very fun.  They had calf roping (it was a mechanical one), armadillo racing, and bull riding.  I didn’t think I’d get on the bull until Dan persisted, but I have to admit it was pretty fun.  I was thinking “you know, you only live once” which helped me sign the waver and my life away.  As you can see from the bull riding video, I am quite the “urban cowboy”.

JCPenney’s headquarters is amazing!  Here are some pictures and a fun video of the JCPenney headquarters. The building is 1,930,000 sq. ft and is home to 4,000 employees and sits on 429 acres.  Don’t miss the robotic mail carts video down in their basement. Those robots are awesome and I must have one!

This morning we had our CMMA Board Meeting which was the work part, but the fun part was taking a private tour of the Dallas Cowboys stadium this afternoon!  The stadium is amazing, and the stadium screen is even more amazing.  I certainly didn’t expect to get to do this on the tour, but we pretty much got to see every part of the stadium including the locker room and even go on the field itself and throw footballs around (forget that I took lots and lots and lots of pictures)!  I took some HD video on the field, but the hotel connection is so slow I’ve given up on that for now until I get back home to the Bay Area.  Tomorrow we are off to visit the JCPenney headquarters down the street which means work, but this conference is focusing on social media so it should be especially interesting for me.  More to come on that tomorrow.
